Savings for everyday.
Right now it’s 2.1% p.a. variable.

Your Savings account is built to grow. Not to spend.
Simple flow. Full control. Keep your savings safe unless you really need them.


Your money matters. We treat it that way. Your funds are safeguarded in a trust account with a licensed bank.
Eligible deposits are covered by New Zealand’s Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS) up to the scheme limit. The app is built with bank-grade security and real-time monitoring.
Coming soon to an Emerge near you, we’re working on a high-interest account for people who want their money to work even harder. Same simple experience, higher potential return.

We're not a bank. We're everything you need from a bank minus all the horrendous admin, long wait times and poor experience. Trust us, you'll love it.
Even though Emerge isn’t a registered bank, your money is held with NZ’s largest tier 1 bank - and we do it in a way that keeps your balance separate, traceable, and linked just to you.
This means that if our banking partner ever failed, we could claim your balance (up to $100,000) on your behalf under the DCS.You don’t need to do anything. Just know: your money’s protected, your name is on it, and we’ve got your back.
Honestly? There isn’t one. No hidden fees. No dodgy fine print. No junk mail trying to sell you stuff you don’t need. We built Emerge because we were tired of the catches too.
You’ll get a virtual card instantly after signing up - ready to tap and go. Physical cards? We’ll ship those out as fast as your postie can carry them (usually no more than 10 working days).
Nope, we’ve got a full suite for businesses too. Whether you're a freelancer, a founder, or running a full team, Emerge Business makes managing your money effortless.
Absolutely! In fact, it’s super simple. No endless paperwork. No weird local bank hoops. Just fast, digital-first banking the way you’re used to.
We use best-in-class encryption, numberless cards, instant card freezing, and two-factor authentication. In plain Kiwi English: your money’s locked down tight.
Emerge is not registered bank - your money’s held safely in trust with a licensed New Zealand bank. We’re a registered financial services provider, and we hold your money in a secure trust account with a licensed New Zealand bank. You get all the protection of a big bank, with none of the big-bank vibes.
No stress, you can freeze your card instantly from the app. No waiting on hold. No “we’ll get back to you.” Just tap freeze, order a replacement, and get a new virtual card immediately so you can keep spending.
About the same time it takes to order a coffee. Just download the app, verify your ID, and you’re good to go. No branch visits, no paperwork.
Absolutely. Every time you spend, save, or transfer, you’ll get an instant notification. Your money, your moves, in real-time.
SquareOne is our app for kids and teens to learn smart money habits early. If you started with SquareOne, upgrading to Emerge Personal is the natural next step when you’re ready for real-world banking power.
Nope. It’s free to open your account, free to get your first card, free to send money to mates. A replacement card will cost you $10, that’s it.
